The zipper makes a very Soligen impression in the way they are used in Treckingrucksäcken.
The closing process starts at the end of the bag and then runs around the lid.
(As there is a two-way zipper is used, one can also make the closing process the other way around.)
Excellent padding, high-quality tripods feel comfortable ;-) - tripod head and my big video tripod have good space.
Unfortunately, the belt no shoulder pads, with heavier tripods can (> 5kg) press so well ....
The bag there are even in a non-upholstered version, but I would not advise for a good tripod.
Highly recommended
